wiat didn’t he need to wait until Friday for the extra year of control?

Apparently someone did the math wrong somewhere along the line and it kept getting repeated that he needed 7 days down to get the extra year when it was actually only 5. That they lined him up for this Friday only added to that confusion

Watching the Astros game.

Osuna has long hair.

And their AA pitcher, Enoli Paredes, came out to Marino Rivera’s “Enter Sandman” in the 7th inning. Ballsy move.

I'm shocked they didnt at least wanna try him in the bullpen.

The Jays should hopefully be all over Folty. Legit could be our 2nd best starter if he has any of the magic left from 2018.

Edit: looks like a significant fb velo drop the past couple years to not even averaging over 91mph today. Is he injured? How else does your fastball drop ~5mph at age 28

Shoutout to MLB.com for not having their standing page WC games behind properly updated for the new playoff format with 8 teams. Jays currently tied for the final spot and it has them half a game back

He does not look healthy at all. Like, he legit looks like he's lost 20+ lbs

Ahhh that’s good. I figured he might need 5 days seasoning on the taxi squad as 7 seemed far too much.

Good luck not having an asterisk next to this season’s results. People talked about the Stanley Cup winner having an asterisk next to their name but this is a whole different level lol.

I think they changed the name to the Covid Cup...

Even with the huge velocity drop and his 2018 season being such a huge outlier, I would put a claim in on Folty, throw him in the pen, and see if he can get it together in low leverage situations.

If the team thinks its just a strength thing, id say claim him. If its a 'between the ears' problem, you never know when a guy just looses 'it'

Im betting this season doesnt last much longer if the Covid numbers weve seen so far keep happening.
If the league's season is suspended, send him some weights and a metric crap ton of protein lol.

Even if its not, just have him throw once a week and weight train the rest of the time to try and get his velocity back up.

So like 4 more Marlins tested positive....

Everyone: "basically half a team has now shown to be infected by a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus. Maybe something significant should be done about that?"

Manfred: "Nah, we're cool. Just don't play for a day or two and it should be fine."
